xFarm Technologies develops scalable and AI-powered software & hardware solutions at the forefront of integrated agtech. This means generating value by retrieving and structuring production raw data across every variable that matters. Precisely, my ops involve: > Technical translation & generation of B2B/C requirements turning complex field-to-table value chains into self-explanatory digital twins. > Direct client and exec engagement targeting roadmap definition, requirement generation, and delivery across both software and hardware tools. > End-to-end ownership of feature planning and execution, with continuous identification of potential evolutions and opportunities extending product value.

March 2025/ July 2025 I embarked on a new mission within the Marketing & After sales strategic planning teams, alongside another true-player in the automotive industry. I operated at the intersection of brand strategy and engineering, ensuring alignment between the manufacturing resources and the product development roadmap. June 2024/ March 2025 My first project involved the design of a digital integrated business planning tool for an automotive equipment company. My operational involved the testing and configuration of the supply planning module. Plus, given my background in biology, I had the chance to contribute to the assessment of the client’s RM suppliers’ compliance with the EUDR legislative framework.

Integration and presentation of market survey data to international partners operating in the agri-food, packaging, and luxury industries.

My main mission consisted in developing & executing a strategy involving L'Oréal's integration in promising tech ecosystems, targeting Start-ups & technologies that match the firm’s performance standards. A parallel mission consisted in following the incubation of two green-tech Startups, on the results ownership and deal framing level.

I conducted my M1 internship at PAPPSO «Platforme d’Analyse Protéomique de Paris Sud-Ouest», in the Quantitative Genetics and Evolution – Le Moulon laboratory (Univ. Paris-Sacly, INRAE, CNRS, AgroParisTech). The PAPPSO platform is specialized in Proteome and Metabolome analysis by HPLC- MS/MS, and the IbiSA and INRAE labels grant the presence of top-notch proteomic analysis equipment (e.g. TimsTOFPro, Lumos, Q Exactive plus. I performed the laboratory protocols allowing the extraction of plant protein and the processing of the extract before the injection into the HPLC-tandem Mass Spectrometer. In a second moment, I employed extensible bioinformatics software to sort raw data, conduct statistical analyses and to perform functional clustering on the identified and quantified proteins.

Our main goal at Centro Equino Arcadia is to breed, tame and trade pure blood racehorses to worldwide clients and European auctions. My role consisted in leading the taming process of pure blood yearlings, and supervising the auction process, from the horse prep to the post deal framing.

The stage program focused on Mycorrhizae interactions and more specifically, the action of Chitooligosaccharides on root-AM colonisation. Moreover, we created didactical material for future students, by resuming the main structural features that lead to plant-microorganism interaction and by gathering bibliography concerning general plant biology notions.

Doxa provides market surveys for a company to anonymously evaluate its own performance or the performance of a competitor. My mission was to present myself as a client, ask for a service and then assess the quality of the service. As the majority of my tasks involved luxury brand cars, it has been interesting to dive into an industry that has such little in common with the domain concerning my formation.
